Description
A man's life is one of solitude and self-imposed isolation. Hector Loursat, a lawyer, has retreated from society after his wife left him eighteen years ago. His only comfort was in the endless bottles of burgundy that filled his days. But when a dead body is found in his house, the world intrudes on his isolation. The police investigation that follows reveals secrets about the town and its inhabitants, forcing Loursat to confront the lives he has avoided for so long. As he becomes embroiled in the case, Simenon explores the psychology of loneliness and the human condition. In this gripping mystery, a man's tortured re-engagement with humanity is laid bare, revealing the darkest acts that can occur when we are forced out of our comfort zones.
